[evlatests] [Fwd: Semi annual test/inspection of the EVLA Correlator room’s FM-200 system]

[James Sullivan]

All,

The semi annual test/inspection of the EVLA Correlator room’s FM-200 
system and the Ana Laser II has been completed. The test/inspection was 
conducted
around 11:00 AM. There were no problems found during the 
test/inspection. The electrical shunt trip was not tested. The 
test/inspection was conducted in accordance with the testing/inspection 
requirements listed under NFPA 72 and 2001.
 
Thanks,
